| Need to arm a battleship or carrier with scale quad 40 mm gun mounts? Well take a look at this new offering from FlyHawk of China. This set give you eight quad 40 mm mount with shields and even base rings. The set is designed using extensive relief etching to give it a 3D appearance and help highlight the details. | |||

| The guns are mounted in pairs and with a gun sight mounted in left and right assemblies. The guns appear very accurate in spite of their flat appearance. The shields designed to be folded around the mount. Fold lines would have been helpful here. The shields can be left off if as not all quad gun mounts used them. The gun base is also very well done with fold lines included here. The back rails are attached so those of us who are photo etch challenged don't have to spend as much time ungluing our fingers from the fret. | |||

| INSTRUCTIONS | |||
| The instructions show the assembly step by step and they are pretty straightforward and easy to follow. They show how the completed mount should appear. |  |

| CONCLUSIONS | |||
As a former sheet metal worker I can really appreciate the thought that went into this new set. It is well design and looks like something a photo etch beginner should be able to manage. This is set #700006 soon to be available at your favorite ship model vendors. I have many more FlyHawk sets that I will be posting in the near future. |
